During the second half of summer back in 2010, Woodlore Field Staff member Sarah Day took some fantastic photos of a butterfly that she had spotted. The first person who can correctly identify the species will win a £10.00 Woodlore Voucher, which can be used against any items of kit in our Online Shop or against a Bushcraft Course of your choice. Good luck!

Is it a common blue(Polyommatus icarus)?
I’m thinking it could well be a tired looking Adonis Blue, if it isn’t then my next guess would be a maggot in a Peter Storm!
silver-studded Blue by any chance??
Is it a Reakirt’s Blue? Great picture too by the way.
I think this may be a male Silver studded blue ( Plebeius Argus ).
